The Yamaha CSF1M takes that idea seriously. Built around Yamaha's CSF (Compact Folk) body shape, it was designed from the ground up to deliver a real, full acoustic voice in a package you can take anywhere without thinking twice about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of this guitar is a solid Sitka spruce top paired with Yamaha's newly designed scalloped bracing — a combination that pushes the CSF1M well past what you'd expect from a parlor-sized instrument. The mahogany back and sides add warmth and focused midrange character, and the gloss Tobacco Brown Sunburst finish gives it a vintage-inspired look that just feels right on a guitar this style. And when you need to plug in? A passive undersaddle SRT piezo pickup — no EQ, no fuss — handles the job cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a guitar that works at home, in the studio, in a hotel room, or on a small stage. If you've been looking for a compact acoustic that doesn't make you feel like you're settling, the CSF1M is worth your time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis item is a B-Stock guitar sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is new and has never been previously owned. The photos shown are of the exact instrument you will receive. Before shipment, our licensed technician will inspect and professionally set up the guitar to ensure it is playing its best. During our inspection, we noticed, MINOR DENT AND BLEMISH NEAR NUT ON HEADSTOCK. (see pictures) Please note, these may not be the only cosmetic imperfections. As a B-Stock instrument, there may be additional minor blemishes that are small in nature and do not affect playability or performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSolid Top, Scalloped Bracing — More Sound Than You'd Expect\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CSF1M's solid Sitka spruce top is the foundation of its acoustic voice. Sitka is prized for its stiffness-to-weight ratio and broad dynamic range — it responds well whether you're strumming hard or fingerpicking lightly. Yamaha pairs it with a forward-shifted scalloped bracing pattern that increases resonance and bass response, addressing the common knock on compact guitars that they sound thin or weak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a guitar that genuinely punches above its class. Players often find that the CSF1M's focused midrange and surprisingly present low end hold their own even in small ensemble settings. The gloss body finish helps project resonance, and the abalone plus black soundhole inlay is a nice touch of detail at this price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShort Scale, Comfortable Neck\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CSF1M runs a 23 5\/8\" (600mm) scale length — noticeably shorter than a standard dreadnought. That shorter span means less string tension, which translates to a softer feel under the fingers and chord shapes that come together a little more easily. The nato neck carries a rosewood fretboard with a 15 3\/4\" radius and 43mm nut width, landing in a comfortable middle ground for most hand sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 20 frets and 14 frets clear of the body, there's enough range for most playing styles without the guitar feeling stretched out. The die-cast chrome tuners hold tune reliably, and the rosewood bridge with urea nut and saddle round out a well-specified neck-to-bridge package for this class of instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePassive Pickup — Ready to Plug In\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CSF1M's undersaddle SRT piezo pickup is passive — there's no onboard preamp or EQ to worry about. That's a deliberate design choice: keep the guitar's acoustic character pure and let you dial things in from whatever you're plugging into. Whether that's a small acoustic amp, a DI box, or a PA, the pickup gives you a clean, natural signal to work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor players who prefer to shape their tone from the source rather than on the guitar itself, passive pickups like this one are often the preferred approach. It's simple, reliable, and keeps the guitar's body uncluttered — no battery door, no controls to fuss with when you just want to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid Sitka spruce with forward-shifted scalloped bracing for enhanced resonance and bass response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides:\u003c\/strong\u003e Laminate mahogany — warm, focused midrange character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e CSF parlor — compact and travel-friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23 5\/8\" (600mm) short scale for comfortable playability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nato neck with rosewood fretboard, 15 3\/4\" radius, 43mm nut width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectronics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Passive SRT undersaddle piezo pickup — no EQ, clean natural signal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gloss Tobacco Brown Sunburst with black + white body binding and abalone soundhole inlay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Die-cast chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elixir Nanoweb 80\/20 Bronze Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yamaha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e CSF1M\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e CSF1M TBS-2ND|IMJ281152\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e B-Stock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
